The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 890
[Chapter 413 Am I headed?]
Text Chapter 413 Am I headed?
“But the premise of all this,” Victor began, “is that His Royal Highness Philip is really dead.”
“That’s right.”
Annan nodded.
And if Philip was suspended from death, the situation would be completely different.
Whether Philip died in real or faked death, his political career was already dead – the populace couldn’t accept someone who “died once” to lead them, more unacceptable than accepting a puppet king.
Because they can’t even confirm whether this person is “a king or a liar”.
Ordinary people don’t know the existence of spell energy and great-level spells.
They don’t even know how backward the civilization of the Yatheran people was before the elves arrived on the continent of Yatheran… What they can vaguely know is that “this continent was once ruled by the elves”.
But they certainly wouldn’t know that it was only after the Great Barrier was broken and the Imperial Capital collapsed that there were five major kingdoms today.
In Noah and the United Kingdom, the version they heard was, “After the Great Barrier was broken, the elves lost their power to rule the continent. The human beings, who were taken as slaves, led by the heroes revolted and defeated the Elf Emperor”.
They use this way to explain why there are no elves that used to be the hegemons of the mainland, and almost no elves-style buildings and works of art in human gathering places.
The Winter Principality and the Cult State, because they have a closer relationship with the righteous gods and more devout people, are also relatively more real – just a little bit.
They believed that it was because the elves committed a serious crime, so the twelve righteous gods joined forces to sink the capital of the elves into the sea.
The only difference is that in this myth, the images, words, and… scenes of the righteous gods that the two countries believe in are different.
This version is pretty close to the truth, but it’s also obviously made up by the rulers of the time.
The version on the underground side is closer to the fact on the other side-they believe that the elves have developed a technology that can travel through the world, and moved the entire country together with the continent.
——It was because of the loss of the protection of the elves that the unified Great Barrier that existed forever was shattered and turned into the current split Great Barrier that requires the power of the righteous gods to continue to exist.
This can explain why the Great Barrier is broken.
This version is in a sense closer to the truth.
Put together with the version of the Church, it is basically 70% of the truth.
In the Noahian view, they will accept the rule of King Noah because they are “heroes’ offspring”.
And their status a long time ago was very underground. It was King Noah who rescued them and made a big deal to ask Silver Sir to rebuild the Great Barrier.
So they have freedom, land, and air of safety.
And the king’s rule over them can be regarded as enlightened compared to the “slaves” attitude of the elves towards them.
Because of this, the Noahs paid special attention to the “blood” of the king.
That is to say – King Noah was the hero who rescued them and the hero who signed a contract with the Silver Sir, so he could establish a kingdom and rule them – of course, in official words, it is “Let the Future generations will always protect this group of people.”
——If it is someone who has nothing to do with King Noah at all, what can it be?
Therefore, as long as the news of Philip’s assassination came out, no matter whether he was really dead or faked, it could only be regarded as dead.
In the kingdom of Noah, where the superhumans are only legendary, people cannot accept the “too fantastic thing” of “resurrection from the dead”.
Even Philip’s claim to be “Prince Philip not yet dead” would be seen as an offense.
“And he obviously still wants to succeed.”
Annan analyzed: “So, even if he faked his death this time… I don’t think it was his own plan.”
“But if it is involuntarily, taking the other party’s head while keeping the other party alive. This becomes a lot more difficult.
”
Victor also whispered: “The point is that Philip is an ordinary person, not an extraordinary person… Otherwise, it would be much simpler.”
At this time, Maria also got up and asked Annan what happened.
Annan relayed the accident to her.
Maria was indifferent to it – rather happy.
Because she always felt that Philip’s smile was too kind, and even looking at it was annoying.
It’s like melted toffee… so sweet that it sticks to the teeth and makes people physically nauseated.
And just as he was repeating, Jacob “The Hole Opener” also came over.
“…Wait a minute, Your Majesty.”
Jacob frowned and made a statement: “I must say…I think you’ve overcomplicated that ritual.”
“You mean, the ‘unknown preservation ceremony for the skull’ that can survive even with a beheaded head?”
Annan said casually: “Are you also doing this ceremony?”
“I can really do it.”
Jacob replied confidently: “It’s not difficult.”
As soon as he said this, the eyes of the people around him were immediately focused on him.
Mary reminded him, “But Philip was an ordinary man.
“As an ordinary person, his soul has not been formed, and as long as he dies, he can never be saved. He is not as firm-willed as an extraordinary person of the silver rank. Even if his head is cut off and his heart is penetrated, he will still survive. to survive for a while…”
“And even an extraordinary person of the silver rank will die suddenly if the brain is severely damaged.”
Annan added.
He remembered again, the “Jude of Shaper” that Dove “I got up, it’s an arrow and a second”.
As a shaping school known for its defensive power, Jude was instantly dropped by Dove without even releasing a spell.
“No, not cut off.”
Jacob hurriedly explained: “If it really is to cut off the heads of mortals, and then save them to make them immortal… A ceremony of that level, I am afraid that only a priest at the Pope level can do it. .”
“…Not cut it off?”
“That’s right, from the very beginning, His Highness Philip’s head was not chopped off.”
Jacob replied with certainty: “It was [stolen] by someone.
“This is the ritual of the ‘Stealer’, the god of lost and returned, a very niche ritual.”
– Stealers.
Also known as “Thousand-handed God”, is a false god.

Annan had heard the name.
He is the protector of righteous thieves and godly thieves. At the same time, if an important lost property is accidentally lost, you can also ask him to return it.
A considerable number of his followers are “gold fingers”, and they also control an important channel for selling stolen goods – that is, “returning the house”.
If thieves’ followers stole something, they would either sell it or give it to a return house.
And if the owner urgently needs to get the lost property back, either he needs to pay for it, or he needs a favor.
The only upside is that if it’s stolen again, or really lost, the return house will get the item back for the owner for free, instead of catching a customer and scooping wool to death.
One item, one price.
But the reason why they are not evil gods is because they also accept the commission of some “lost people” at the same time.
For example, something was stolen from someone… If the returner is willing to stand up for them, it will help them steal back what was stolen.
The only and the biggest constraint on them is that “snatchers” are “not allowed to sell someone’s stuff to someone else”.
You can only hold it in your own hands, or sell it to the owner, or sell it to the “original owner”.
You can’t sell it to someone who has nothing to do with it.
“—In my experience, His Royal Highness Philip’s head was stolen.”
Jacob said with great conviction: “His head was taken directly by magic, not cut off and saved.
“Of course, that also means…”
“…Someone posted a mission with ‘Philip’s Head’ as the designated lost property?”
Even Annan was a little confused.
Could it be that Philip’s head… couldn’t be his own?
